Went on the walking week and had a wonderful time. Bambu is perfect for solo travellers as there's a really friendly and laid-back atmosphere and plenty of shared areas for socialising in the evening with other guests. The walks were great, challenging without being too difficult, and as Bambu is in quite a rural location they were a great way... More

Having spent a great week at Bambu last year, chilling out and relaxing, I decided to venture on the Walk on the Wild Side week and am very glad I did. Having had a quiet day on the Sunday, we walked on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Each walk had been planned to show us a different aspect of the... More

THE place for lesbians to holiday We had a wonderful holiday at Bambu in Southern Spain. After leaving Malaga we drove through avocado groves, and along a dirt track we came upon Bambu, sitting in the hills with stunning views across to the mountains not so far distant. There are seven studios, of varying size but all very adequate and... More

We spent 5 days/4 nights and had a lovely relaxing time will definitely return though next time will hire a car as the village is great but after a few visits you need something different.Also the site of the sea and mountains are just too enticing.As stated by Sheila of seven apartments, there is only one with an oven, and...

I spent a week at Bambu from 31 Oct 2011 and was very glad I had picked this one from my impulsive Google search! My first solo holiday, having only recently started to 'come out', so I was a little apprehensive as to what to expect. Catherine was great during the booking process, with follow up advice about the holiday... More

A recent trip to Bambu proved that there is certainly a call for places like this. Catherine and Susanne have hit on a great idea with their 'solo' weeks for lesbians travelling on their own. A place to chill out, relax and meet other women. Plenty of sunbeds (pity no hammocks), very clean pool and drinks in the bar (but... More

I do think Sheila is being a bit harsh here and rather picky. Bambú isn't a 5* plush luxury hotel - accordingly our prices are much lower than you would pay at a 4* or 5* Sheraton. Bambú is a rustic Andalucian converted farmhouse. The term 'boutique' is habitually used in the holiday accommodation sector to describe something small, unique,... More

We had such a wonderful week at Bambu. We arrived just a little bit frazzled after negotiating the drive from Malaga airport - great roads, and great instructions, but a different side of the road than we are used to, so we were a little stressed. We arrived at Bambu and instantly felt relaxed and at home. It is in... More

I had a great time at Bambu. Desperate for sun and not wanting to be on my own in the evenings the solo week was perfectly timed for my holiday. The resort was full this time with Brits, but as I stayed an extra couple of nights, we got a mix of Spanish and French join us for the last... More
